Steve Tyrell

Producer, composer, and singer Steve Tyrell was born and raised in Texas, cutting his teeth in local R&B bands before relocating to New York at age 18 and landing a staff position at Scepter Records. As the label's head of A&R and promotion, Tyrell championed the classic Burt Bacharach/Hal David-composed recordings of Dionne Warwick and also recruited singer B.J. Thomas, producing his hits "Hooked on a Feeling" and "Raindrops Keep Fallin' on My Head." In the years to follow, Tyrell additionally made his mark as a hit songwriter, co-writing the gold-selling number one hit "How Do You Talk to an Angel" for the Heights and the Jamie Walters smash "Hold On," as well as working on music for film (Mystic Pizza, Midnight Crossing, and The Brady Bunch Movie, among others) and television. He returned to performing in 1991, singing "The Way You Look Tonight" on the soundtrack to Father of the Bride, then had two more cuts on the soundtrack to Father of the Bride, Pt. 2 in 1995. An album of standards, A New Standard, followed in 1999; it was a Top Five hit on the jazz charts and was still listed in those charts two years after its release. Tyrell followed it with a second album, Standard Time, in 2001. The holiday-themed This Time of the Year arrived in 2002, followed in 2003 by another album of pop standards, This Guy's in Love. In 2005 Tyrell released Songs of Sinatra on the Hollywood label; it was followed a year later by The Disney Standards. Tyrell's seventh album, Back to Bacharach, was released in 2008. He returned in 2012 with his homage to the Great American Songbook, I'll Take Romance, and continued his salute to standards in 2013 with the Concord release It's Magic: The Songs of Sammy Cahn. The album coincided with Tyrell's New York residency at the Café Carlyle, where the Great American Songbook has been celebrated for decades. In 2015, Tyrell delivered That Lovin' Feeling, which featured his take on classic pop songs from the Brill Building era of the '60s. ~ Jason Ankeny & Al Campbell, Rovi

, I found Steve on television's Music Choice channel. Can't get enough of his fabulous voice -like no other. Ever in Vegastown? you can bet I will drop EVERYTHING to beat a path to you. I join your admirers who profess they love you.

I am so in love with this man!! Oh yeah, and his awesome voice!!I was lucky enough to see him perform live a couple of times and the second time got even luckier to have a photo taken with him! I am still on cloud 9 !!!

Really enjoy that gritty character in your voice, sounds easy ... want to sing along. Ever go to K.C. MO? We havegreat venues and can appreciate a boy from Texas.

My only regret is that I had no camera with me to have my picture taken with Steve when he performed at Humphrey's in San Diego a few years back. I have an autographed copy of The Songs of Sinatra as a consolation - when are you coming back to Humphrey's? Soon, I hope!

Got to see him perform in Scarborough, Maine in early April. What a performer! If you get the chance to see him live, GO FOR IT! He is terrific.

Steve, don't know why you 'wasted your time producing' with a voice like that! Love everything you sing. Now, just come to Salt Lake City in concert. Please?

Saw him at Humphries on the bay in San Diego last yr in Sept. and had pictures taken with him. He's so down to earth and sweet, just like his wonderful music and Fabulous voice. I have every CD he's ever made and play them constantly. He's right up there with Berry White as far is Sexy voice is concerned. Love Him Lots.

Saw him and his band this year in St. Louis at the sold out and intimate Sheldon Concert Hall with just 500 seats! He's been a favorite of ours since we first heard and purchased A New Standard. Hope he comes here every year!
